I looked for it but there are so many types of these so I can’t figure out which one is right for patties. Well hope you post soon. Thanks in advance!!

*Chicken Patties *
Chicken Mince Pies
Ingredients:
225 grams puff pastry
1 quantity chicken fillings for patties
How to Cook:
1. On a floured board, roll the pastry out thinly and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes. Using a 2-2 1\2 inch round cutter, stamp out 24-28 circles of pastry.
2. Line 12 tartlet tins, or as many as needed, with half the pastry circles. Place a teaspoon of mincemeat in the center of each. Damp the edges of the pastry lid with a little beaten egg and place over the filled tartlet tins. Gently press the pastry edges together to seal.
3. Cut one or two slit in the top of each pie. Brush with a little beaten egg.
4. If tartlet tins are not available, these mince pie can be made on a baking tray.
5. Place one pastry circle on a floured board, place a tablespoon of filling in the centre. Damp the edges of the pastry lid with a little beaten egg and place over the pastry base. Gently press the pastry edges together to seal.
6. Cut one or two slit in the top of each pie. Brush with a little beaten egg.
7. Put on wetted baking tray and Place in a very hot oven (425F, 220C. Gas Mark 7) and bake for 20 minutes or well risen and brown. Serve warm.
Note: Puff pastry can be made at home or can be purchased from grocery store
ohh yeah.. make n e sort of fillings u want.. i tried puttin keema instead of chiken it was soo yummy.. but chicken one is just awesome :)
i wish i can get the reciepe of filling specially the one we buy on pastry shops in pakistan...
do any one of u hav n e idea how they make it??? cuz whenever i make it it taste good but it doenst have the exact same taste...
Ufff Afia, I also made it myself at home by following these instructions. You won’t believe kay maine kitni mehnat ki puff pastry banane mai..:hehe: And I prepared my own masala for ground beef and potato fillings but it didn’t work. They didn’t taste as good as real patties. And they weren’t that soft either. teary Were yours as good as the ones you get from the bakery??
PP sisso, I’m waiting for your recipe…jaldi post karo ladki…:smash:
BTW, I’m gonna try making crossiants from above website. They have all those pictures to help dumb people like me. Dekhte hain woh kese bante hain.
PP, mujhe tumhari pitaayi karni hai…
Yaar I saw this recipe from BJ’s site but I don’t think it’s helpful. I have already used the masalas they mentioned but they don’t taste like our Pakistani yummy patties. I have no idea which masalas they use that’s why I asked you. sighs
Anyways, thanks for posting this recipe. I have tried it already…but it doesn’t work!
acha okay.. main ne apni cousin aur dost ko pakistan email kardi hia ke jaakar mere liay recepie pooch kar aayen :)
and my mom make it i will let u know when i will try myself :)
No offence to those who cut n paste recipies from other sites but is this what a thread opener really looking for?. I mean if I needed cookbook recipes I would just go to some web site and read it there. I believe when people ask for recipes here they're actually looking for home-made formulas that people usually follow. I read a lot of recipes but eventually it's my added touches that make the final product edible. I have never followed a recipe to the exact wording. Just me.
^ Ali there are some good websites where you can find people posted their own home made recipes and we are not aware of all those sites..
if u dun knwo sum recipes urself but others need it so what so harm in copyin n pastin from other site...and show em arround if they wanna use it fine if not np..
PP007....:)
now i'm back with my requests
i want recipes for
haray masalay ka gosht
kata kat
baingan ka khatta
hyderabadi green chilli ka salan
n one more thing .....spicy french fries are something different than regular ones ....???? if yes then plz tell me about it too
many thanks in advance :)
*Haray masalay ka Ghosh (Meat With Green Gravy)

Ingredients:
1 kg beef, mutton or boneless chicken

1 inch piece ginger, peeled and coarsely chop

Heat oil in a pan. Add the meat and stirring continuously, fry for 8 to 10 minutes over medium heat. Cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and oil separates from the gravy. There is no need to add water as meat releases its own water while cooking. But sometimes water dries up quickly. If this happen add 1\2 cup of water. Cooking time depends on the kind of the meat, chicken needs less time and water than beef or mutton does.

Heat oil in shallow, heavy frying pan or a griddle or tava and add onions and stir fry for few minutes then add tomatoes brains and kidney mixture. Stir fry for about 5 minutes on high heat. There are special knives that are used to stir fry kat-a-kat but you can use any spoon that has sharp edges. While stirring also chop the meat.
